PRINCETON, N.J. and MIAMI, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Miami International Holdings, Inc. (MIAX or MIH) (NYSE: MIAX), a technology-driven leader in building and operating regulated financial markets across multiple asset classes, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

MIAX achieved strong financial performance in Q2 2026 with record net revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings. Total net revenue grew 35% year-over-year to $141.1 million, adjusted EBITDA increased 57% to $76.8 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by more than 700 basis points to 54%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.48. The company’s options business benefited from elevated market volatility during the quarter, which led to a 25% year-over-year increase in average daily volume to 11.0 million contracts.

“We delivered another record quarter, growing net revenue 35% year-over-year and successfully navigating a shifting market backdrop, demonstrating both our ability to execute consistently as well as sustained customer demand,” said Thomas P. Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MIAX. “Our options business remains strong, our model’s operating leverage drove record margins, and our Bloomberg® index futures suite is now live.”

Mr. Gallagher added: “We remain disciplined in how we allocate capital and execute our strategy, and continue to invest in a product pipeline that we expect will contribute meaningfully to continued, long-term growth.”

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

All figures are compared to the second quarter of 2025 unless otherwise stated.

Net revenue, defined as revenues less cost of revenues, grew 35%, or $36.5 million, to a record $141.1 million, compared to $104.7 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by strong options business performance, including increased industry volumes and higher non-transaction revenue.Total operating expenses were $113.3 million, compared to $77.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to a litigation settlement charge as well as planned investments in headcount and technology to support growth initiatives, and increased marketing spend. These were partially offset by lower regulatory costs, lower share-based compensation, and 2025 acquisition-related costs.Operating income was $27.8 million, compared to $27.3 million in the prior-year period.Realized an income tax benefit of $15.4 million, primarily driven by a discrete tax benefit of $22.4 million related to share-based compensation.GAAP net income was $44.2 million, compared to $23.5 million in the prior-year period.Adjusted earnings increased 41% to $53.3 million, compared to $37.8 million in the prior-year period.Adjusted EBITDA increased 57% to $76.8 million, compared to $49.1 million in the prior-year period, driven primarily by strong growth in net revenues.Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 54% from 47% in the prior-year period.

1Cognex has provided the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted earnings per share (diluted), but cannot, without unreasonable effort, forecast such items to present or provide a reconciliation to corresponding forecasted GAAP measures. These include special items such as reorganization charges, acquisition and integration charges, and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, all of which are subject to limitations in predictability of timing, ultimate outcome and numerous conditions outside of Cognex’s control. Additionally, these items are outside of Cognex’s normal business operations and not used by management to assess Cognex’s operating results. Cognex believes these limitations would result in a range of projected values so broad as to not be meaningful to investors. For these reasons, Cognex believes that the probable significance of such information is low. Information with respect to special items for certain historical periods is included in the section entitled “Reconciliation of Selected Items From GAAP to Non-GAAP”. In Q3 2025 the GAAP operating margin was 20.9% and GAAP earnings per share (diluted) were $0.10, and in full-year 2025, the GAAP operating margin was 16.3% and GAAP earnings per share (diluted) were $0.68.

Analyst Conference Call and Simultaneous Webcast

Cognex will host a conference call on August 6, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The telephone number is (877) 704-4573 or (201) 389-0911 if outside the United States.A real-time audio broadcast of the conference call or an archived recording, together with a slide presentation, will be accessible on the Events & Presentations page of the Cognex Investor website: www.cognex.com/investor

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted gross profit and margin, adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted EBITDA and margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share of common stock, diluted, adjusted effective tax rate, and free cash flow and free cash flow conversion rate. Cognex defines its non-GAAP metrics as follows:

Adjusted gross profit and margin: Gross margin adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as, if applicable, restructuring charges, reorganization charges, acquisition and integration costs and one-time discrete events.Adjusted operating expense: Operating expense adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as, if applicable, restructuring charges, reorganization charges, acquisition and integration costs and one-time discrete events.Adjusted operating income and margin: Operating income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as, if applicable, restructuring charges, reorganization charges, acquisition and integration costs and one-time discrete events.Adjusted EBITDA and margin: Operating income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and depreciation, as well as, if applicable, restructuring charges, reorganization charges, acquisition and integration costs and one-time discrete events.Adjusted net income: Net income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as, if applicable, restructuring charges, reorganization charges, acquisition and integration costs, discrete tax items, tax impact on reconciling items and one-time discrete events (such as loss on sale of business).Adjusted earnings per share of common stock, diluted: Adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average common and common-equivalent shares.Adjusted effective tax rate: Effective tax rate adjusted for discrete tax items and the net impact of the other non-GAAP adjustments.Free cash flow: Cash provided by operating activities less cash for capital expenditures.Free cash flow conversion rate: Free cash flow divided by net income or adjusted net income, as applicable.

Cognex may disclose results on a constant-currency basis as one measure to evaluate its performance and compare results between periods as if the exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period.

Cognex believes these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful because they allow investors to more accurately compare results over multiple periods using the same methodology that management employs in its budgeting process, in its review of operating results, and for forecasting and planning for future periods. Cognex’s definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Furthermore, these measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain non-recurring expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statement of operations that are necessary to run our business. Thus, our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Please see the section “Reconciliation of Selected Items from GAAP to Non-GAAP” below for more detailed information regarding non-GAAP financial measures herein, including the items reflected in our adjusted financial metrics and a description of these adjustments.

Description of adjustments:

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also provides various non-GAAP measures that incorporate adjustments for the impacts of special items. Adjustments incorporated in the preparation of these non-GAAP measures for the periods presented include the items described below:

Depreciation:

The company incurs expense related to its normal use of property, plant and equipment.

Acquisition and integration costs:

The Company has incurred charges related to the purchase and integration of acquired businesses. During the periods presented, these costs were primarily related to the ongoing integration of Moritex Corporation, which the company acquired in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets:

The Company excludes the amortization of acquired intangible assets from non-GAAP expense and income measures. These items are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions, and include the amortization of customer relationships, completed technologies, and trademarks that originated from prior acquisitions. The largest driver of intangible asset amortization was the acquisition of Moritex Corporation.

Reorganization charges:

The Company has incurred charges related to the reorganization of its employees. During the three-month period ended July 5, 2026, these costs consisted primarily of severance and consulting fees.

Loss on sale of business:

The Company has recognized a pre-tax loss related to the divestiture of its Japan-focused trading business, which includes direct costs associated with the divestiture incurred during the six-month period ended July 5, 2026.

Discrete tax (benefit) expense and tax impact of reconciling items:

Items unrelated to current period ordinary income or (loss) that generally relate to changes in tax laws, adjustments to prior period’s actual liability determined upon filing tax returns, adjustments to previously recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions, establishments and adjustments of valuation allowances, stock based compensation, and adjustments to deferred tax positions.We estimate the tax effect of items identified in the reconciliation by applying the statutory tax rate to the pre-tax amount.
